HTC continues to play in cloning models. This time, we're talking about the model One ME9 hiding under the code name Hima Ace. This smartphone is to hit the Southeast Asian markets, including Indian and Taiwanese.
Reliable service in the field of leaks Upleaks publishes fairly detailed information about HTC One ME9, adding a pretty decent quality photo. ME9 is to remind a bit HTC M9+. The phone will have a metal frame, but the majority of the housing is made of plastic. At the back there will remain a 20-megapixel Toshiba camera, but without additional DualCamera lens. The new model is to use the same processor as HTC M9+ (MediaTek MT6795), supported by 3 GB of RAM. There is a built-in memory capacity of 32 GB, a microSD card slot, a biometric scanner and a battery with a capacity of 2900 mAh. The screen will measure 5.2 inches and have a QHD resolution. It is not clear what camera is above the display. This can be a model 4 MPx in UltraPixel technology or a standard, 13-megapixel camera known from Desire Eye. All will be managed by Android 5.0 Lollipop with the Sense 7.0 interface, and the price of the phone is expected to be approx. $ 570.
Lovers of slightly more compact HTC models will be a bit disappointed. Jack Tong, the head of HTC North Asia region said today that the company has no plans to manufacture smartphones in a size of less than 5 inches. He said that "the market is now focusing on smartphones bigger than 5 inches, and the HTC strategy fits into this trend". Therefore, you should not expect the release of HTC One M9 Mini... unless the global strategy of the company is different from the Asian...
